To all whom it may concern Be it known. that I, CLARENCE of Mifilinburg, in the county of Union and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Patch- Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The clasps, it will be noticed, slide evenly on the ring holders and pull evenly on the blow-out patches. 'Mountin them on the rings. they are free to position themselves in accordance with the 1 strain.
